My dog is a male; yellow-green pus is dripping from his genitals. What medication should I use?
Yellow-green purulent discharge from a dog's genitals may be caused by urethritis, a urinary tract infection, or other inflammation of the urinary system. It is recommended to take the dog to a veterinary hospital for examination to confirm the cause and give targeted treatment. Pus from the urethral opening means the dog may have a suppurative urinary infection; if not treated promptly, as the condition progresses it can affect the whole body and lead to sepsis. If it is a female dog with yellow-green genital discharge, reproductive-system issues should also be considered.
